There are Two Venture Capital Industries – Here’s the Data

Fred Wilson had an interesting post this morning entitled “There are Two Venture Capital Industries” in which he discussed the difference between VC investing in software-based businesses vs. what he describes as a second VC industry which invests in cleantech, biotech, computer hardware and other capital intensive technology businesses.
